Isaiah 57:1-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 57
1
The righteous person perishes, and no one takes it to heart;
And devout people are taken away, while no one understands.
For the righteous person is taken away from evil,
2
He enters into peace;
They rest in their beds,
Each one
who walked in his upright way.
3
'But come here, you sons of a sorceress,
Offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute!
4
Of whom do you make fun?
Against whom do you open wide your mouth
And stick out your tongue?
Are you not children of rebellion,
Offspring of deceit,
5
Who inflame yourselves among the oaks,
Under every luxuriant tree,
Who slaughter the children in the ravines,
Under the clefts of the rocks?
6
Among the smooth
stones
of the ravine
Is your portion, they are your lot;
Even to them you have poured out a drink offering,
You have made a grain offering.
Should I relent of these things?
King James Version
Chapter 57
1
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
2
He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
3
But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
4
Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
5
Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
6
Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 57
1
The righteous person perishes,
and no one takes it to heart;
the faithful are taken away,
with no one realizing
that the righteous person is taken away
because of evil.
2
He will enter into peace—
they will rest on their beds —
everyone who lives uprightly.
3
But come here,
you witch’s sons,
offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute!
4
Who are you mocking?
Who are you opening your mouth
and sticking out your tongue at?
Isn’t it you, you rebellious children,
you offspring of liars,
5
who burn with lust among the oaks,
under every green tree,
who slaughter children in the wadis
below the clefts of the rocks?
6
Your portion is among the smooth stones of the wadi;
indeed, they are your lot.
You have even poured out a drink offering to them;
you have offered a grain offering;
should I be satisfied with these?
New Living Translation
Chapter 57
1
Good people pass away;
the godly often die before their time.
But no one seems to care or wonder why.
No one seems to understand
that God is protecting them from the evil to come.
2
For those who follow godly paths
will rest in peace when they die.
3
'But you — come here, you witches’ children,
you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
4
Whom do you mock,
making faces and sticking out your tongues?
You children of sinners and liars!
5
You worship your idols with great passion
beneath the oaks and under every green tree.
You sacrifice your children down in the valleys,
among the jagged rocks in the cliffs.
6
Your gods are the smooth stones in the valleys.
You worship them with liquid offerings and grain offerings.
They, not I, are your inheritance.
Do you think all this makes me happy?
English Standard Version
Chapter 57
1
The righteous man perishes,
and no one lays it to heart;
devout men are taken away,
while no one understands.
For the righteous man is taken away from calamity;
2
he enters into peace;
they rest in their beds
who walk in their uprightness.
3
But you, draw near,
sons of the sorceress,
offspring of the adulterer and the loose woman.
4
Whom are you mocking?
Against whom do you open your mouth wide
and stick out your tongue?
Are you not children of transgression,
the offspring of deceit,
5
you who burn with lust among the oaks,
under every green tree,
who slaughter your children in the valleys,
under the clefts of the rocks?
6
Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion;
they, they, are your lot;
to them you have poured out a drink offering,
you have brought a grain offering.
Shall I relent for these things?
New International Version
Chapter 57
1
The righteous perish,
and no one takes it to heart;
the devout are taken away,
and no one understands
that the righteous are taken away
to be spared from evil.
2
Those who walk uprightly
enter into peace;
they find rest as they lie in death.
3
"But you—come here, you children of a sorceress,
you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
4
Who are you mocking?
At whom do you sneer
and stick out your tongue?
Are you not a brood of rebels,
the offspring of liars?
5
You burn with lust among the oaks
and under every spreading tree;
you sacrifice your children in the ravines
and under the overhanging crags.
6
The idols among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion;
indeed, they are your lot.
Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings
and offered grain offerings.
In view of all this, should I relent?
New King James Version
Chapter 57
1
The righteous perishes,
And no man takes
it
to heart;
Merciful men
are
taken away,
While no one considers
That the righteous is taken away from evil.
2
He shall enter into peace;
They shall rest in their beds,
Each one
walking
in
his uprightness.
3
“But come here,
You sons of the sorceress,
You offspring of the adulterer and the harlot!
4
Whom do you ridicule?
Against whom do you make a wide mouth
And
stick out the tongue?
Are
you not children of transgression,
Offspring of falsehood,
5
Inflaming yourselves with gods under every green tree,
Slaying the children in the valleys,
Under the clefts of the rocks?
6
Among the smooth
stones
of the stream
Is
your portion;
They, they,
are
your lot!
Even to them you have poured a drink offering,
You have offered a grain offering.
Should I receive comfort in these?
